About the University The University of Missouri–St. Louis

We transform lives.

Much like our graduates, the University of Missouri–St. Louis is also a success story.

As the metropolitan, land-grant, research institution serving the most diverse and economically important region in Missouri, the University of Missouri–St. Louis delivers exceptional educational, research and engagement experiences that inform, prepare, challenge and inspire.

As the largest public research university in Missouri’s most populous and economically important region, the University of Missouri–St. Louis provides excellent learning experiences and leadership opportunities to a diverse student body whose influence upon graduation is immense. No other university brings more to bear on the advancement of St. Louis than UMSL – which is fitting for a campus created just for that purpose.

In 1963, the university opened on the grounds of a closed golf course in Normandy, Missouri, out of a need to bring affordable, public education to the region. It had one building, a modest faculty and fewer than 700 students.

Today, UMSL is spread across 450 acres of rolling hills in suburban St. Louis County and enrolls nearly 15,000 students. While UMSL’s more than 108,000 graduates are located in all 50 states and nearly 100 countries around the world, their greatest impact is felt right here in St. Louis where more than 75,000 alumni live, work and thrive in the region.

UMSL is a Tier 1 research university – one of four in Missouri – and ranks No. 118 nationally among all public universities. Last year, UMSL was included in U.S. News & World Report’s inaugural “Top Performers for Social Mobility” rankings which measures how well universities educate and graduate Pell Grant eligible students. UMSL remains among the nation’s top performers in this area in this year’s annual rankings. The university is also a a five-time recipient of the Higher Education Excellence in Diversity Award from Insights into Diversity magazine – the only Missouri university to earn this prestigious recognition repeatedly. Forbes Magazine has even named UMSL one of ‘America’s Best Colleges.’

For nearly 60 years, the University of Missouri–St. Louis has been a beacon of hope, a force for good and a leader in the pursuit of excellence in education, meaningful research and community service. As this mission continues into the future, everyone at UMSL remains committed to providing much more than exceptional educational experiences.

Academic excellence.

UMSL’s fundamental purpose is to educate and graduate diverse students as they seek different and better lives. Our academic programs emphasize student growth through research, internship opportunities, and one-on-one attention.

Our eight colleges and schools, as well as our joint engineering partnership, are anchored by our award-winning faculty and nationally-ranked programs, offering each student a high quality, invaluable and diverse educational opportunity.

The Seal of the University of Missouri The seal was adopted March 31, 1903. The straight perpendicular lines on the printed shield denote courage.

The grizzly bear of Missouri is walking leisurely with face turned toward the observer. A new moon is outlined in blue, and in the lower right corner appears the arms of the United States of America. Appearing on an open book is the motto of the university, Salus Populi, The Welfare of the People. Sigill Universitatis Missourien MDCCCXXXIX means the seal of the University of Missouri 1839, the year the university was established as the first state university west of the Mississippi River. The seal can be seen on the UM System flag located on the stage, to the right of the American flag.

The product, called the Flipstik, allows users to complete tasks such as watching videos, taking selfies and using GPS hands free.

Akeem Shannon founder and chief executive officer of Flipstick

26

Shannon appeared on a November 2020 episode of ABC’s “Shark Tank” and struck a deal with investor Lori Greiner. While the

show provided a propellant for Flipstik, Shannon says connections the startup has forged in St. Louis’ entrepreneurship ecosystem are what have positioned it for long-term success. Following its “Shark Tank’’ appearance, Flipstik won a $50,000 grant from local nonprofit Arch Grants and another $50,000 in equity-free funding through its participation in the inaugural cohort of UMSL’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Accelerator. Now, thanks to support from UMSL Accelerate, Flipstik will be available in major retailers starting 2022.

Pierre Laclede Honors College Students of the Pierre Laclede Honors College pursue any major they choose and complete either a two-year or a four-year honors program.

Each student shares in a challenging and innovative curriculum, which occupies one-third of their undergraduate career.

The honors experience also requires independent study under the supervision of individual faculty. These projects include guided reading, supervised undergraduate research and/or academic- or career-related internships and public service projects. To this work, honors students bring their intelligence and a wide diversity of experience and values – among the college’s most precious assets. Completion of the program marks a significant achievement.

UMSL Alma Mater

Heart of Missouri (Words and Music by John Francis Dill and Diane Ceccarini)

Rising high between two rivers history yet to tell, Stands an honored Alma Mater, our UMSL. Came to seek more understanding for my life to be.

Found my need for knowledge answered gratefully by thee.

Dreaming dreams about tomorrow, as I've learned today.

Now this heart deep in Missouri seeks a better way.

When at last my journey's over may its value be, That it honors state and nation but above all, thee.
